Body Composition Worksheet for PE or Fitness, Fat and Muscle, Internet homework

This is a worksheet that can be assigned as homework or done in class, but it requires the use of the internet. Students will research questions about body composition, fat and muscle tissues and functions in the body, the two types of fat, three types of body somatotypes, and general questions about physical fitness, physiological functions, and nutrition. A couple of the questions will require a personal response from the students, but mostly they will be able to find these answers by internet research.

There are 2.5 page of questions. This includes eight questions total, but some of them are multi-part and/or charts that they will need to fill in. In my experience, this usually takes up one or two class periods for students to complete, and then you might want to devote some time afterwards to review/share their answers. This includes an answer key, and can be used for a few classes, including PE, Fitness, Weight Training, Nutrition, etc. It is intended for high school students.
